Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is e-invoicing?
It is the creation and exchange of structured invoice data that business systems can process electronically.
Is a PDF invoice an e-invoice?
A PDF sent by email is not a structured e-invoice under the Ministry of Finance framework.
Which businesses may be affected?
The framework addresses in-scope business-to-business and business-to-government transactions, with exclusions and phased implementation. Check the official decisions against your circumstances.
How should businesses prepare?
Review invoice workflows, data quality, accounting systems and responsibilities, then develop a plan with the appropriate providers.
Can existing accounting software support e-invoicing?
That depends on its version, configuration and available integrations. An invoice PDF feature alone does not establish readiness; the required structured data exchange needs to be assessed.
How can Eccuracy help?
We can support readiness reviews, accounting processes, data preparation and implementation coordination. Accredited service provider functions must be handled by an appropriately accredited provider.
Eccuracy’s role is advisory and implementation support. Accreditation as an e-invoicing service provider is not claimed.
